'LEGO Star Wars' Finally Coming To Gamecube

Play the most memorable and exhilarating scenes from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and the forthcoming Episode III Revenge of the Sith including pod racing on Mos Espa, the repelling of the droid onslaught in the Genosian arena and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon's fatal fight with Darth Maul. Besides controlling the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2, notorious dark side enemies such as Jango Fett, Darth Maul and Count Dooku appear in thrilling boss showdowns. As you progress through the game you unlock many new characters including the defeated bosses, and you must switch between them to solve puzzles using their special abilities.

"We are thrilled with the opportunity to publish LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game for the GameCube in North America," said Bill Gardner, CEO of Eidos US Publishing. "This highly-acclaimed title lends itself perfectly to the gaming platform, as it literally combines the 'force' of two powerhouses, LEGO and Star Wars, to create an action-adventure title designed to appeal to everyone."

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game combines two childhood favorites, LEGO and Star Wars®, to create an innovative and exciting action-adventure title designed for young gamers. The game is based on Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and the recent box-office hit Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (TM), now slated for worldwide release on DVD in time for the holiday season.

Gamers can play as more than 30 of their favorite Star Wars characters through 18 levels, and experience the complete storyline of the first three movies in the Star Wars saga in a unique LEGO way. Jedi can use "the Force" to transform LEGO objects, in a world filled with humor and surprises. Additionally, players can enjoy a two-player cooperative play mode that lets a second player drop in and out of the action without interrupting gameplay.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game carries an "E" rating and is available for an MSRP of $29.99 for GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and Game Boy Advance. The PC version, with cutting-edge graphics technology developed in conjunction with NVIDIA, is compatible with Windows XP/2000 and requires a Pentium III 1 GHz or equivalent processor.
